DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Similar compounds are known, for example, from European Laid-Open Specification No. 19,665. However, in contrast, the compounds of this invention contain 1,1,4-trisubstituted cyclohexane rings.
Like similar compounds, the compounds of formula I can be used as components of liquid-crystal dielectrics, in particular for displays based on the principle of the twisted cell, the guest-host effect, the effect of the deformation of aligned phases or the effect of dynamic scattering.
It has been found that the compounds of formula I are excellently suitable for use as components of liquid-crystal dielectrics. In particular, it is possible to use them to prepare stable, liquid-crystal phases which have a strongly negative dielectric anisotropy and thus a low threshold or control voltage for electro-optical effects, a very low optical anisotropy and a comparatively low viscosity.
Surprisingly, it has been found that, when compounds of the formula I are added to mixtures having positive dielectric anisotropy, even fairly large added quantities (for example quantities of 30%) only increase the threshold voltage to a negligible extent. At the same time, a considerable improvement in the steepness of the characteristic curve of the mixture takes place, completely unexpectedly, so that compounds of the type I can be regarded as substances which are particularly advantageously suitable for the preparation of liquid-crystal mixtures which have a steep characteristic curve. They thus make possible the development of highly multiplexable mixtures which have a very low optical anisotropy and by means of which a twisted cell can be operated, particularly in the first Gooch-Tarry transition minimum. This results in the contrast having a very low dependence on the angle of observation.
In addition, the provision of the compounds of the formula I broadens considerably, in a very general way, the range of liquid-crystal substances which are suitable, from various aspects of applied technology, for the preparation of nematic mixtures.
The compounds of the formula I have a wide field of use. Depending on the choice of substituents, these compounds can be used as the base materials of which liquid-crystal dielectrics are mainly composed; it is also possible, however, to add to compounds of the formula I liquid-crystal base materials belonging to other classes of compounds, in order, for example, to reduce the dielectric and/or optical anisotropy of such a dielectric. The compounds of formula I are also suitable as intermediate products for the preparation of other substances which can be used as constituents of liquid-crystal dielectrics.
In the pure state, the compounds of formula I are colorless and form liquid-crystal mesophases in a temperature range which is advantageously situated for electrooptical use. They are very stable to chemicals, heat and light.
This invention also relates to the use of the compounds of the formula I as components of liquid-crystal dielectrics, to liquid-crystal dielectrics containing at least one compound of formula I, and to electro-optical display elements containing dielectrics of this type.

Preferably, they are linear and have 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 C atoms and are, accordingly, preferably ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, ethoxy, propoxy, butoxy, pentoxy, hexoxy, heptoxy, 2-oxapropyl (=methoxymethyl), 2-oxabutyl (=ethoxymethyl)- or 3-oxabutyl (=2-methoxyethyl), 2-, 3- or 4-oxapentyl, 2-, 3-, 4- or 5-oxahexyl or 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- or 6-oxaheptyl, also methyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, methoxy, octyloxy, nonyloxy, decyloxy, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-oxaoctyl, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-oxanonyl, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8- or 9-oxadecyl, 1,3-dioxabutyl (=methoxymethoxy), 1,3-, 1,4- or 2,4-dioxapentyl, 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 2,4-, 2,5- or 3,5-dioxahexyl or 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,6-, 2,4-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,5-, 3,6- or 4,6-dioxaheptyl.
Compounds of the formulae I and Ia to Iap having branched wing groups R1 and R2 can occasionally be of importance because of improved solubility in the customary liquid-crystal base materials, but are especially of importance as chiral doping agents, if they are optically active. Branched groups of this type do not, as a rule, contain more than one chain branching. Preferred branched radicals R1 and R2 are isopropyl, 2-butyl (=1-methylpropyl), isobutyl (=2-methylpropyl), 2-methylbutyl, isopentyl (=3-methylbutyl), 2-methylpentyl, 3-methylpentyl, 2-ethylhexyl, 2-propylpentyl, isopropoxy, 2-methylpropoxy, 2-methylbutoxy, 3-methylbutoxy, 2-methylpentoxy, 3-methylpentoxy, 2-ethylhexoxy, 1-methylhexoxy, 1-methylheptoxy, 2-oxa-3-methylbutyl and 3-oxa-4-methylpentyl.

In the compounds of the formulae mentioned above, the group A contains a substituent X which can be in the 1-position or in the 4-position. Thus the compounds of the formula I include, for example, the compounds of the partial formulae I' and I" below ##STR1## (wherein the cyclohexane ring can, in addition, carry a further substituent X in the opposite position (the 4-position or the 1-position, respectively) of the cyclohexane ring and also 1 or 2 further F, Cl or Br atoms and/or CN groups).
In this respect, compounds of the formulae I and Ia to Iat indicated which are also particularly preferred are those in which the radical A is, in each case: ##STR2## In these formulae, preferred stereoisomers are those in which the groups R1 --(A1)m --Z1 -- and --Z2 --(A2)n --R2 are in the trans-position in relation to one another, while the substituent X is in the cis-position in relation to the group opposite to it. Thus, for example, the following stereoisomers of the compounds of the formula I' are preferred: ##STR3##
Those of the formulae mentioned above which contain one or more of the groups Dio, Pip and/or Pyr include, in each case, the two possible 2,5-position isomers and 1,4-position isomers. Thus, for example, the partial formula Iap includes the 2-R1 -5-(A-R2)-1,3-dioxanes and the 2-(A-R2)-5-R1 -1,3-dioxanes, while the partial formula Iaq includes the 1-R1 -4-(A-R2)-piperidines and the 1-(A-R2)-4-R1 -piperidines.
Compounds of the Formulae I, Ia to Iz and Iaa to Iat wherein R1 and R2 are each a straight chain or a branched alkyl group which has 1-10 C atoms and does not contain more than one chain branching and in which one or two CH2 groups can also be replaced by 0 atoms; F; Cl; Br, CN; or --O--CO--R; and A1, A2, A, Z1, Z2, R, m and n have the meanings given for formula I, are particularly preferred. Most preferred are such compounds further having the above-discussed preferred structural features.
The compounds of formula I can be prepared by methods which are in themselves known, such as are described in the literature (for example in the standard works, such as Houben-Weyl, Methoden der Organischen Chemie ("Methods of organic chemistry"), Georg-Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart) namely under reaction conditions which are known and suitable for the reactions mentioned. In these reactions, it is also possible to make use of variants which are in themselves known, but are not mentioned here in greater detail.
For example, a process for the preparation of the compounds of this invention comprises,
treating a compound which otherwise corresponds to formula I, but contains one or more reducible groups and/or C--C bonds instead of H atoms, with a reducing agent, or adding a compound of the formula HX (wherein X is F, Cl, Br or CN) onto a compound which otherwise corresponds to formula I but contains, instead of the radical A, a 1-cyclohexene-1,4-diyl group which can carry 1 or 2 further F, Cl or Br atoms and/or CN groups, or,
in order to prepare esters of formula I (wherein R1 and/or R2 are --O--COR and/or wherein Z1 and/or R2 are --CO--O-- or --O--CO--), reacting a corresponding carboxylic acid or one of its reactive derivatives with a corresponding alcohol or one of its reactive derivatives, or,

wherein X1 is Cl, Br, I, OH or a reactive esterified OH group and R2, A2, Z2 and n are as defined above, or,
in order to prepare nitriles of formula I (wherein A is 1,4-cyclohexylene which is substituted in the 1-position or 4-position by CN and which can be substituted additionally by one or two F atoms and/or CN groups, and wherein, additionally, one of the radicals Z1 or Z2 is a single bond), reacting a nitrile of formula IV
Q.sup.1 --A.sup.3 CN                                       IV
wherein Q1 is
(a) R1 --(A1)m --Z1 -- or
(b) R2 --(A2)n --Z2 -- and
A3 is a 1,4-cyclohexylene group which is unsubstituted or monosubstituted or disubstituted by F and/or CN, and R1, R2, A1, A2, Z1, Z2, m and n are as defined above, with a compound of formula V
Q.sup.2 --X.sup.1                                          V
wherein Q2 is
(a) R2 --(A2)n -- or
(b) R1 --(A1)m -- and
X1, R1, R2, A1, A2, m and n are as defined above, or,
in order to prepare ethers of formula I (wherein R1 and/or are alkyl in which one or two CH2 groups are replaced by 0 atoms and/or Z1 and/or Z2 are --OCH2 -- or --CH2 O--, etherifying a corresponding hydroxy compound, or,
in order to prepare compounds of formula I containing CF3 groups, reacting a corresponding carboxylic acid with SF4,
and/or, optionally reacting a chlorine or bromine compound of formula I (wherein R1 and/or R2 are Cl or Br and/or wherein A is substituted by at least one chlorine or bromine atom) with a cyanide, and/or, optionally, converting a base of formula I into one of its acid addition salts by treatment with an acid, or, optionally, liberating a compound of the formula I from one of its acid addition salts by treatment with a base.
X1 is preFerably Cl or Br, but is also I, OH or reactive esterified OH, such as alkylsulfonyloxy having, in particular, 1-6 C atoms (for example methylsulfonyloxy) or arylsulfonyloxy having, in particular, 6-10 C atoms (for example phenylsulfonyloxy, p-tolylsulfonyloxy or naphthylsulfonyloxy).
The starting materials can, if desired, also be formed in situ, in such a manner that they are not isolated from the reaction mixture, but are immediately reacted further to give the compounds of formula I.
Thus, the compounds of formula I can be prepared by reducing a compound which otherwise corresponds to formula I, but contains one or more reducible groups and/or C--C bonds instead of H atoms.
Suitable reducible groups are preferably carbonyl groups, especially keto groups, and also, for example, free or esterified hydroxyl groups or aromatically linked halogen atoms. Preferred starting materials for the reduction correspond to the formula I, but can contain a cyclohexene ring or cyclohexanone ring instead of a cyclohexane ring, and/or a --CH═CH-- group, instead of a --CH2 CH2 -- group and/or a --CO-- group instead of a --CH2 -- group, and/or a free or functionally modified OH group (for example in the form of the p-toluenesulfonate of the latter) instead of an H atom.
The reduction can, for example, be effected by means of catalytic hydrogenation at temperatures between about 0° and about 200° and under pressures between about 1 and 200 bar, in an inert solvent, for example an alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, an ether, such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) or dioxane, an ester, such as ethyl acetate, a carboxylic acid, such as acetic acid, or a hydrocarbon, such as cyclohexane. Suitable catalysts are preferably noble metals, such as Pt or Pd, which can be employed in the form of oxides (for example PtO2 or PtO), on a support (for example Pd on charcoal, calcium carbonate or strontium carbonate) or in a finely divided form.
Ketones can also be reduced by the Clemmensen method (using zinc, amalgamated zinc or tin and hydrochloric acid, preferably in an aqueous alcoholic solution or in a heterogeneous phase using water/toluene at temperatures between about 80° and 120° ) or the Wolff-Kishner method (using hydrazine, preferably in the presence of an alkali, such as KOH or NaOH, in a high-boiling solvent, such as diethylene glycol or triethylene glycol, at temperatures between about 100° and 200°) to give the corresponding compounds of the formula I which contain alkyl groups and/or --CH CH2 -- bridges.
Reductions by means of complex hydrides are also possible. For example, arylsulfonyloxy groups can be removed by reduction with LiAlH4, in particular p-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl groups can be reduced to methyl groups, preferably in an inert solvent, such as diethyl ether or THF, at temperatures between about 0° and 100°. Double bonds can be hydrogenated (even in the presence of CN groups!) by means of NaBH4 or tributyltin hydride in methanol; thus, for example, the corresponding cyclohexane derivatives are formed from 1-cyanocyclohexene derivatives.
Compounds of the formula I can also be obtained by adding on a compound of the formula HX (hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide or hydrogen cyanide) to an appropriate cyclohexene derivative (which corresponds to the formula I, but contains, instead of the radical A, a 1-cyclohexene-1,4-diyl group which can carry 1 or 2 further F, Cl or Br atoms and/or CN groups).
This addition reaction is carried out, for example, in the presence of an inert solvent, for example a halogenated hydrocarbon, such as CH2 Cl2 or CHCl3, a nitrile, such as acetonitrile, or an amide, such as dimethylformamide (DMF), at temperatures between about -10 and +150° and pressures between about 1 and 100 bar. It can be advantageous to add catalysts, for example an addition reaction with HCN can be catalysed by adding palladium bis-[2,3-0-isopropylidene-2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-bis-(diphenylphosphino)-butane].
Esters of the formula I (R1 and/or R2 =--O--COR or Z1 and/or Z2 =--CO--O-- or --O--CO--) can also be obtained by esterifying corresponding carboxylic acids of the formulae R--COOH, R1 --(A1)m --COOH, R1 --(A1)m --Z1 --A--COOH, R2 --(A2)n --COOH or R2 --(A2)n --Z2 --A--COOH (or reactive derivatives thereof) with alcohols or phenols of the formulae R1 --(A1) --Z1 --A--Z2 --(A2)n --OH, R2 --(A2)n --Z2 --A--Z1 --(A1)pgd m--OH, R2 --(A2)m --Z2 --A--OH, R2 --(A2)n --OH, R1 --(A1)m --Z1 --A--OH or R1 --(A1)m --OH (or reactive derivatives thereof).
Suitable reactive derivatives of the carboxylic acids mentioned are, in particular, the acid halides, above all the chlorides and bromides, and also the anhydrides, for example also mixed anhydrides of the formulae R1 --(A1)m --CO--O--COCH3, R1 --(A1)m --Z1 --A--CO--O--COCH3, R2 --(A2)n --CO--O--COCH3 and R2 --(A2)n --Z2 --A--CO--O--COCH3 , azides or esters, in particular alkyl esters having 1-4 C atoms in the alkyl group.
Suitable reactive derivatives of the alcohols and phenols mentioned are, in particular, the corresponding metal alcoholates or phenates, respectively, of the formulae R1 --(A1)m --Z1 --A--Z2 --(A2)n --OM, R2 --(A2)n --Z2 --A--Z1 --(A1)m --OM, R2 --(A2)n --Z2 --A--OM, R2 --(A2)n --OM, R1 --(A1)m --Z1 --A--OM and R1 --(A1)m --OM wherein M is one equivalent of a metal, preferably an alkali metal, such as Na or K.
It is advantageous to carry out the esterification in the presence of an inert solvent. Solvents which are very suitable are, in particular, ethers, such as diethyl ether, di-n-butyl ether, THF, dioxane or anisole, ketones, such as acetone, butanone or cyclohexanone, amides, such as DMF or phosphoric acid hexamethyltriamide, hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene, halogenated hydrocarbons, such as carbon tetrachloride or tetrachloroethylene, and sulfoxides, such as dimethyl sulfoxide or sulfolane. It can be advantageous to add water-immiscible solvents at the same time in order to remove, by azeotropic distillation, the water formed in the esterification. Occasionally, an excess of an organic base, for example pyridine, quinoline or triethylamine, can also be used as the solvent for the esterification. The esterification can also be carried out in the absence of a solvent, for example by merely heating the components in the presence of sodium acetate. The reaction temperature is usually between -50° and +250°, preferably between -20° and +80°. At these temperatures the esterification reactions are usually complete after 15 minutes to 48 hours.
In an individual case, the reaction conditions for the esterification depend largely on the nature of the starting materials used. Thus, a free carboxylic acid is, as a rule, reacted with a free alcohol or phenol in the presence of a strong acid, for example a mineral acid, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. A preferred mode of reaction is to react an acid anhydride or, in particular, an acid chloride with an alcohol, preferably in a basic medium, bases which are of importance being, in particular, alkali metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, alkali metal carbonates or bicarbonates, such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate or potassium bicarbonate, alkali metal acetates, such as sodium acetate or potassium acetate, alkaline earth metal hydroxides, such as calcium hydroxide, or organic bases, such as triethylamine, pyridine, lutidine, collidine or quinoline. A further preferred embodiment of the esterification consists in first converting the alcohol or phenol to the sodium or potassium alcoholate or phenate, respectively, for example by treatment with ethanolic sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide solution, isolating this alcoholate or phenate and suspending it, together with sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate, by stirring in acetone or diethyl ether, and adding a solution of the acid chloride or anhydride in diethyl ether, acetone or DMF to this suspension, preferably at temperatures between about -25° and +20°.
Dioxane derivatives of the formula I (wherein one of the groups A1 and/or A2 is a 1,3-dioxane-2,5-diyl group) are preferably prepared by reacting a corresponding aldehyde, for example of the formulae R1 --(A1)m-1 --CHO, R1 --(A1)m --Z1 --A--Z2 --CHO, O═CH--(A1)m-1 --Z1 --A--Z2 --(A2)n --R2 or O═CH--R2 (or a reactive derivative thereof) with a corresponding 1,3-diol, for example of the formulae (HOCH2)2 CH--(A1)m-1 --Z1 --A--Z2 --(A2)n --R2, (HOCH2)2 CH--R2, R1 --(A1)m-1 --CH(CH2 OH)2 or R1 --(A1)m --Z1 --A--Z2 --CH(CH2 OH)2 (or a reactive derivative thereof), preferably in the presence of an inert solvent, such as benzene or toluene, and/or of a catalyst, for example a strong acid, such as sulfuric acid, benzenesulfonic acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid, at temperatures of about 20° to about 150°, preferably 80° to 120°. Suitable reactive derivatives of the starting materials are primarily acetals, for example of the formulae R1 --(A1)m-1 -CH(OR3)2, R1 --(A1)m --Z1 --A--Z2 --CH(OR3)2, (R3 O)2 CH--(A1)m-1 --Z1 --A--Z2 --(A2).sub. n --R2, (R3 O)2 --R2, R4 --CH(OCH2)2 CH--(A1)m-1 --Z1 --A--Z2 --(A2)n --R2, R4 --CH(OCH2)2 CH--R2, R1 --(A1)m-1 --CH(CH2 O)2 CH--R4 or R1 --(A1)m --Z1 --A--Z1 --CH(CH2 O)2 CHR4 weherein R3 is alkyl of 1-4 C atoms, two radicals R together are also alkylene of 2 or 3 C atoms and R4 is H, alkyl of 1-4 C atoms or phenyl.
The aldehydes and 1,3-diols, and also their reactive derivatives, are in some cases known; in all cases they can be prepared without difficulty by standard methods of organic chemistry from compounds which are known from the literature. For example, the aldehydes are obtainable by oxidising corresponding alcohols or by reducing corresponding carboxylic acids or derivatives thereof, and the diols are obtainable by reducing corresponding diesters.
Corresponding acid amides, for example amides in which a CONH2 group is present instead of the radical X, can be dehydrated in order to prepare nitriles of the formula I (wherein R1 and/or R2 are CN and/or wherein A is substituted by at least one CN group). The amides are obtainable, for example, from corresponding esters or acid halides by reacting these with ammonia. Examples of suitable dehydrating agents are inorganic acid chlorides, such as SOCl2, PCl3, PCl5, POCl3, SO2 Cl2 or COCl2, and also P2 O5, P2 S5 and AlCl3 (for example in the form of the double compound with NaCl) and aromatic sulfonic acids and sulfonic acid halides. This reaction can be carried out in the presence or absence of an inert solvent at temperatures between about 0° and 150°; examples of suitable solvents are bases, such as pyridine or triethylamine, aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene or xylene, or amides, such as DMF.
The abovementioned nitriles of the formula I can also be prepared by reacting corresponding acid halides, preferably the chlorides, with sulfamide, preferably in an inert solvent, such as tetramethylene sulfone, at temperatures between about 80° and 150°, preferably at 120°. After working up in a customary manner, the nitriles can be isolated without further treatment.
Nitriles of the formula I wherein A is a 1,4-cyclohexylene group which is substituted in the 1-position by CN are also obtainable by alkylating acetonitriles of the formula II with 1,5-di-X1 -pentane derivatives of the formula III. The acetonitriles are obtainable, for example, from corresponding halides of the formula R1 --(A1)m --CH2 X1 and metal cyanides; the compounds III are accessible by reducing corresponding glutaric acid diesters to give the corresponding diols (III, X1 =OH) and also, if appropriate, by reacting the latter with inorganic halides, such as SOCl2, HBr or HI. The acetonitrile is preferably first converted, by means of a strong base, such as NaH, NaNH2, lithium diisopropylamide, piperidide or 2,5-diisopropylpiperidide or K tert.-butylate, into the corresponding carbanion, preferably in an inert solvent, for example a hydrocarbon, such as toluene, an ether, such as THF or dioxane, an amide, such as DMF, a sulfoxide, such as dimethyl sulfoxide, or a mixture of such solvents. After III (wherein X1 is other than OH) has been added, it is preferable to maintain a temperature between 0° and 150° for 0.5 to 16 hours. On the other hand, the reaction of II with III (X1 =OH) is preferably effected in the presence of azodicarboxylic acid esters/triphenylphosphine in THF at temperatures between about -30° and + 30°.
Nitriles of the formula I wherein A is a 1,4-cyclohexylene group which is substituted in the 1-position or 4-position by CN and which can additionally be substituted by 1-2 F atoms and/or CN groups, are obtainable in a completely analogous manner by reacting a nitrile of the formula IV with a halide of the formula V. The nitriles of the formula IV are obtainable, for example, from corresponding amides of the formula Q1 --A3 CONH2 by dehydration, while the halides of the formula V are obtainable from corresponding alcohols of the formula Q2 --OH.
Ethers of the formula I (wherein R1 and/or R2 are an alkyl group in which one or two CH2 groups are replaced by O atoms and/or wherein Z1 and/or Z2 are a --OCH2 -- or a --CH2 O--group) are obtainable by etherifying corresponding hydroxy compounds, preferably corresponding phenols, the hydroxy compound being preferably first converted into a corresponding metal derivative, for example into the corresponding alkali metal alcoholate or alkali metal phenate by treatment with NaH, NaNH2, NaOH, KOH, Na2 CO3 or K2 CO3. This metal derivative can then be reacted with the corresponding alkyl halide or sulfonate or dialkyl sulfate, preferably in an inert solvent, such as acetone, 1,2-dimethoxyethane, DMF or dimethyl sulfoxide, or in an excess of aqueous or aqueous alcoholic NaOH or KOH, at temperatures between about 20° and 100°.
Compounds of the formula I containing CF3 groups can be prepared by reacting corresponding carboxylic acids, which, in turn, are obtainable, for example, by hydrolysing corresponding nitriles, can be reacted with SF4, preferably using an excess of SF4 under pressure in the absence, or in the presence, of an inert solvent, such as cyclohexane or methylene dichloride at temperatures between about 70° and 200°. The reaction times vary between about 2 hours and about 4 days.
Nitriles of the formula I (wherein R1 and/or R2 are CN and/or wherein A is substituted by at least one CN group) can also be prepared by reacting corresponding chlorine or bromine compounds of the formula I (wherein R1 and/or R2 is Cl or Br and/or wherein A is substituted by at least one Cl or Br atom) with a cyanide, preferably with a metal cyanide, such as NaCN, KCN or Cu2 (CN)2, for example in the presence of pyridine, in an inert solvent, such as DMF or N-methylpyrrolidone, and at temperatures between 20° and 200°.
A base of the formula I can be converted into the appropriate acid addition salt by means of an acid. For this reaction, it is possible to use inorganic acids, for example sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen halide acids, such as hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acids, such as orthophosphoric acid, or sulfamic acid, and also organic acids, in particular aliphatic, alicyclic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic monobasic or polybasic carboxylic, sulfonic or sulfuric acids, for example formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, pivalic acid, diethylacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, pimelic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, 2-phenylpropionic acid, 3-phenylpropionic acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, ascorbic acid, nicotinic acid, isonicotinic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, naphthalenemonosulfonic acid, naphthalene disulfonic acid and laurylsulfuric acid.
Conversely, it is possible to liberate the base of the formula I from an acid addition salt of a compound of the formula I by treatment with a base, for example with a strong inorganic base, such as KOH or NaOH.

or a C--C single bond, Y is halogen, preferably chlorine, or --CN, and R5 and R6 are alkyl, alkoxy, alkanoyloxy or alkoxycarbonyloxy having up to 18, preferably up to 8, carbon atoms, or one of these radicals is also CN, NC, NO2, CF3, F, Cl or Br.
In most of these compounds R5 and R6 are different from one another, and one of these radicals is in most cases an alkyl or alkoxy group. However, other variants of the scheduled substituents are also customary. Many of such substances or mixtures thereof are obtainable commercially.
The dielectrics according to the invention contain about 0.1 to 100, preferably 10 to 100%, of one or more compounds of the formula I.
The preparation of dielectrics according to the invention is effected in a manner which is in itself customary. As a rule, the components are dissolved in one another, preferably at an elevated temperature.
The liquid-crystal dielectrics according to the invention can be modified by means of suitable additives in such a way that they can be used in all types of liquid-crystal display elements hitherto disclosed.
Additives of this type are known to those skilled in the art and are described in detail in the literature. For example, it is possible to add conducting salts, preferably ethyldimethyldodecylammonium 4-hexyloxybenzoate, tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylboranate or complex salts of crown ethers (compare, for example, I. Haller et al., Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst. volume 24, pages 249-258 (1973)), in order to improve the conductivity, or to add dichroic dyestuffs in order to prepare coloured guesthost systems, or to add substances for modifying the dielectric anisotropy, the viscosity and/or the orientation of the nematic phases. Substances of this type are described, for example, in German Offenlegungsschriften Nos. 2,209,127, 2,240,864, 2,321,632, 2,338,281, 2,450,088, 2,637,430, 2,853,728 and 2,902,177.
Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can, using the preceding description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The following preferred specific embodiments are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative, and not limitative of the remainder of the disclosure in any way whatsoever. In the following examples and in the preceding text, all temperatures are set forth uncorrected in degrees Celsius and all parts and percentages are by weight, unless otherwise indicated.
In the examples, m.p. is melting point and c.p. is the clear point of a liquid crystal substance.
